Pop singer Robbie Williams said he would still be taking drugs if they didn’t make him fat.
“I’d still be doing it if I didn’t blow up to the size of an aircraft hangar, you know, because it was a great time,” the bad-boy British pop star told Real Radio.
“Some of the best times in my life happened under the influence of drugs ... and I’m not saying ‘go out and do drugs, kids’ but I enjoyed them,” Williams said in the interview to air on Christmas Day.
Williams first made a name for himself on the British pop scene as a member of Take That, one of the most successful boys bands of the ’90s.
He reportedly fell into drugs after splitting from the group to launch a solo career. His addiction became so bad that fellow pop star Elton John intervened to send him to a rehabilitation clinic.
Asked whether he was confident about staying away from drugs and alcohol, Williams, now 30, replied: “No, I’m not confident at all.”
